11.3 Taqlidi ni haramu katika ʿAqidah (Imani)
11.3 Taqleed is forbidden in the „Aqeedah (Belief)
Ni wazi kwamba mada ya Taqleed inahusu tu Hukm (hukumu ya kisheria) na haihusishi „Aqeedah (imani). Ni haramu kufanya Taqleed katika „Aqeedah, yaani imani, kwa sababu Allah (SWT) amewakemea Muqallidi (wanaoiga kwa upofu) katika „Aqeedah. Allah (SWT) ametaja hili katika aya nyingi:
It should be clear that the subject of Taqleed is limited to the Hukm (rule) and does not include the „Aqeedah (Belief). It is forbidden to make Taqleed in the creed, i.e. „Aqeedah because Allah (swt) has censured the Muqallids (imitators) in „Aqeedah. Allah (swt) has mentioned this in many verses:
Na inapoambiwa, "Fuateni yale aliyoteremsha Allah," husema, "Hapana, bali tunafuata yale tuliyoachiwa na baba zetu." Hata kama baba zao hawakufahamu chochote, wala hawakuongozwa.
“And if they said to them follow what Allah has revealed, they said but we follow what our fore fathers left for us. Even if their fathers understood not, and were not guided”. (TMQ Al-Baqarah: 170)
"Je, mnayo elimu kwa hilo mnalodai ili mtutolee? Hamufuati lolote isipokuwa dhana tu (Zann)." (TMQ Al-An‟am:148)
"Do you have Ilm for that which you claim so that you provide us with? You follow nothing but conjecture (Zann)." (TMQ Al-An‟am:148)
"Hizi si chochote zaidi ya majina mliyoyabuni, nyinyi na baba zenu, ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu hakuteremshia hoja yoyote juu yake. Hawafuati ila dhana na yale yanayotamaniwa na nafsi zao. Na hakika imewafikia Mwongozo kutoka kwa Mola wao Mlezi."
“These are nothing but names which you have devised, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow nothing but conjecture and what their Nafs desire. Even though there has already come to them the Guidance from their Lord” (TMQ An-Najm: 23)
